Masters programmes

Are you looking for a challenge? Are you looking for an opportunity to undertake world-class science that
spans the traditional disciplinary boundaries?
We are seeking excellent students to join a number of prestigious Doctoral and Masters Degree programmes within this buoyant
and dynamic research centre.

Staff of the Astbury Centre are associated with a number of
Masters programmes

MSc in Chemical BiologyScholarships are available for both UK/EU and international applicants for the
first taught MSc degree in Chemical Biology in the UK. The course bridges the widening gap between
undergraduate degrees and genuinely interdisciplinary
research in chemical biology. The course focuses on how key chemical techniques and methodologies
can be used to solve important biological problems, and will leave students ideally placed to undertake
genuinely interdisciplinary research in either academia or industry. For more details, see

MRes in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology
The course is suitable for graduates in any scientific discipline,
including biology, mathematics and computer science, and offers
different initial modules depending on the knowledge base of the
student. The course covers computer programming, the use of
bioinformatics software to analyse sequences and structures, and the
statistical analysis of biological data (including microarrays and other
omics data). Research project work accounts for 50% of the course, and
projects can be done internally in Leeds or externally in industry or
other institutions.
